If anyone else is going to read Nona, I strongly recommend you read it immediately after Harrow and immediately before Alecto. And keep a Pynchon-style notebook. Neither I nor a friend could make heads or tails of what was going on without drawing a diagram. Gideon is amazing. Harrow is amazing. Both are good casual reads. Nona is far more demanding of the reader.

I read your comment and was like "Alecto is out!" but no, still not released.

I did find Nona difficult going, agreed. Love how the author keeps switching up styles.
